For sea food gumbo, add to above:
1 small can of crab meat or 3 fresh jumbo crabs
1 jar of fosters

Slowly stir the flour into heated oil in a heavy cast iron skillet. Continue to stir until the flour is dark brown. Add the next four ingredients; stir until onions are clear.

Add tomato sauce. Stir until it gets crumbly or dry. Fry okra in another skillet until it is no longer sticky or stringy. Add tomatoes and fried okra.

Cook slowly, adding 2 to 3 cups of water - a little at the time. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in one teaspoon of sugar.

Cook for about on a hour on a low fire, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of pot: adding water if necessary. Add the shrimp and a bay leaf (and if desired, the oysters and crabmeat).

Facts about my collection...

I have been collecting stamped, mailed postcards since 1973. I have cards made from plastic, fabric, wood, metal, leather, and paper. Also, cards announcing the wrong person as president of the U.S., cards that are actual puzzles, cards that are playable records, light switch covers and a card mailed from the initial flight of the Hindenburg, 3D cards, hold to light cards, 1912 Titanic postcard and just about everything you can think of! So far I have over 12,000postcards scanned with many more still to go.
